Pont Julien

Highlight • Bridge

The Julien Bridge is a Roman work which is dated to the year 3 of our era. You can take the bridge by bike. What is surprising is that a modern bridge is a little further. It offers a really interesting and amazing perspective to see the two buildings side by side, and to be able to make the comparison. The large gaping holes forming part of its structure are specially designed to allow water to pass through the bridge in the event of a flash flood. This ingenious artifice allowed the Pont Julien to resist time.

The Ochres of Roussillon

Highlight • Natural Monument

The ocher rocks offer a very special play of colors from rich yellow to warm orange to bright red. The ocher industry once flourished here, today you can explore the bizarre rocky landscape on a bike tour or hike.

Roussillon

Highlight • Settlement

No matter which side you go from, you have to climb and the town is very, very crowded - at least in summer. But down at the entrance to the Ochre Rocks Trail there is a very tasty ice cream, which you can take with you if you have to get off your bike anyway because of all the tourists ,-)
